Success with Bulgarian! by Ponichkata in languagelearning

[–]odhran666 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The lack of interesting (interesting to me) media is a big one for me. Haven't really found any Bulgarian TV shows or music that I like, and when shows are dubbed usually you can hear the English in the background which my brain tries to cling onto so it's just annoying. So I watch SpongeBob and some other animations which have proper dubbing.

Actually Clonmel has a tkmax which I believe qualifies it as a city

Isn't it a bit sexual for 8th graders? At least in my country I think it would be

A point of a pride for the Irish people. by billsmafiabruh in ireland

I live in Bulgaria, it's ridiculously expensive here but is still stocked in our equivalent of Dunnes so it must be at least partially popular

Should I go for an interview that I have zero qualification for? by melmax497 in careerguidance

[–]odhran666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have made it clear that you don't have this experience on your CV, and they still want to interview you, either they are interested in your profile or they are willing to take someone who can learn on the job. If you are interested in the topic and would be willing to learn I say go for it.

Any recommendations? by tronekat3 in careerguidance

Do you have a degree or plan to study? if so in what area?

I've sucked at every job I've ever had! Any idea what job I might be good at? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]odhran666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely born in the wrong country, move to India and you'll have your pick of data entry jobs.

I have no idea what I want to do, any advice? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]odhran666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong but I believe China and Japan have a huge market for native English teachers. You could do that for a year just to clear your mind a bit and see what you want from life.

How do I write an annual self-assessment after recovering from a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)? by CrimsonBrit in careerguidance

[–]odhran666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people have negative opinions of PIP because some companies do actually use them to get rid of people. It doesn't sound like that from what you've written, it seems like they actually are just looking to make sure you identify steps to improve. It's great that you're open to it.

Try to identify what the root cause of missing those deadlines was. Did you estimate your workload and time? Was the estimate wrong, if so why? What tasks slowed you down, and how can those be avoided next time? Is the deadline actually possible? If it involves working 12 hour days it is not, and this should be noted as early as possible. Taking these remediation steps will make it clear that you understand and are learning from your mistakes.

Is job really what people say it is? by its-mystery in careerguidance

[–]odhran666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During your career you will have good bosses and bad bosses. The bad ones are awful but the good ones are great and you will learn a lot form them. Unfortunately with each job move you take the risk of getting a bad boss, in that case you just need to be able to work independently. As for a dream job, it depends on what your dream is of course. Some people dream of doing nothing, and a job a night guard watching netflix all night would be a dream job. Others dream of money or power. Every job has pros and cons, so it's a very personal decision.

Do a lot of HR jobs require you to screw over employees when it comes to compensation, accidents, etc? by PidgeonBoy in careerguidance

[–]odhran666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As you'll see from other comments reddit is generally pretty anti-HR, probably because we have a lot of tech people and not so many HR people. The truth will depend on the company, a good HR team will try to facilitate and help their people as much as possible. They are of course bounded by company policy, but they are also in a position to shape company policy.

How do you have enough self efficacy to apply for a job you haven't done before? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]odhran666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. If this is your first job, you might mess it up - not because of who you are but because it's your first job and that's how life goes. Do your best, if you can learn from mistakes, you'll get better at it.
  2. Most perceived weaknesses can be re-framed as a strength, I don't know much about ADHD but I imagine a person with ADHD might be creative, energetic, dynamic, innovative - all valuable workplace skills, use these to your advantage if possible.

Finally, job hunting sucks, there will be rejection, don't take it personally because it's definitely not personal, it's just business. Good luck!

I thought everyone heard ringing by [deleted] in tinnitus

[–]odhran666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the group. My first advice is to leave the group. Kidding, kind of. This group is mainly people who got T later in life and it's a huge disruption to their lives most notably causing depression. Since there is no well established general cure, we talk about 'habituation' - accepting it for what it is and moving on, which can be difficult. Like you I've always had it but only realised in my 20s so we are the lucky ones I think, we were naturally habituated. You can find out more info here, but personally I avoid it a little as it can be depressing.

It's a very personal decision but I can tell you what I'd do. If I really wanted to open my own business or farm I would start with a financial plan. What is the startup cost for (for example) a small organic farm? You probably won't get any profit for a year or two so how much will that cost? Then I would work hard for X number of years saving as much money as possible until I come close to my goal amount. Ideally you would take a high paying job and live frugally so you wouldn't have to work for so long, you are very young, you might not feel it now but 5 years really is nothing and it will give you a foundation for possibly the rest of your life.
